Labour members respond to far-right figure’s planned appearance on Merseyside

A sparse gathering to hear ‘Robinson’ in Bolton yesterday

Labour members have sent a clear message to ‘Tommy Robinson’, the far-right former EDL leader who is scheduled to appear on the Wirral later today as part of his campaign to be elected to the European Parliament.

A Twitter message from the Wirral Labour account warns ‘right wing hate speaker’ Robinson that he and his message will not find a welcome – and calls on local people to unite to get that message across:

Wirral Labour Party supporters have an unequivocal message for extreme right wing hate speaker Tommy Robinson: ‘Your racist views of intolerance and hatred and the politics of division and discord are not welcome here’.

The low attendance at Robinson’s Bolton event pictured above shows the appetite for his message does not match the hype – but he must still be rejected and resisted everywhere he tries to find an audience for his despicable politics.

It’s great to hear this, but on Wirral, things ain’t always what they seem.

Long-serving senior councillor, former council leader and Mayor Steve Foulkes and his Labour member wife (now confirmed), may not be involved in sending such an unwelcoming message to Yaxley-Lennon / Robinson. tbh, why on earth should they?

It’s completely and utterly disgraceful, was NEVER reported by the captured Merseyside local press, and it was left to Private Eye to fill the reporting vacuum:

The far right barbarians (often funded by the rich) try to divide diverse working people, because they are insular politcal morons and thus line up with the rich and powerful as someone once said as “the emergency committee of capital.”
We are for all working people (who have to sell their labour to live) – the many not the few.
